hi
my entire life i grew up speaking three
languages
and i always thought three languages is
impressive impressive because other
people
couldn't speak more than one language
but
not here in the country of papua new
guinea this is a remote developing
country where people can speak an
average
of three to five languages each how many
languages do you speak
three i speak five languages this
country has more than
eight languages making it the most
linguistically diverse country
in the world it's where the majority of
people live in tribes on top of
mountains far away from everyone that's
how so many languages
studies say if you speak more than one
language your brain gets healthier and
you're less likely
to get brain disease in that case
imagine what goes on in the brains of
these guys
who live in a country with more than 800
languages
hi this tiny thing looks like a
harmless nut but if you try to
eat this nut if you try to peel it add a
mustard seed to it add lime to it
and put it in your mouth it will taste
sour it will turn your mouth red
and once you spit it will wake you up
with energy and get you
high this is the better nut it's
something i've seen
all around the world in maldives india
myanmar and pakistan
but here in papua new guinea i'm not
exaggerating when i say
that it's everywhere yeah
[Applause]
but at what cost just like smoking
bitternut is proven to cause
cancer disease and addiction yet
people still love it think of it like
smoking in other countries but instead
of doing this
people do this the products are
different
but the danger is the same that's one
minute
see you tomorrow
[Music]
what you're looking at is the world's
scariest
tribe what
is this this is a tribe in the country
of papa
new guinea that dresses up in scary
looking masks
to scare their enemy and take over their
village
hundreds of years ago this tribe's
ancestors
took mud from very specific places then
they went to the river and covered their
entire body with it
and built masks out of it these mere
humans all of a sudden became
ghosts that scared all enemies and won
the war
luckily this form of fighting no longer
exists and this has become a tradition
to be celebrated
the world is full of amazing cultures
and the most
unique one seems to be made out of
mud that's one minute
today my girlfriend and i decided to get
married to get married yes get
married here in papua new guinea they
have some of the most colorful weddings
so
my girlfriend and i decided to throw a
real black
thing local wedding instead of a ring
a pig instead of a kiss a dance
and instead of normal clothes we wore
this
we dressed up in traditional clothes
made entirely from nature
the yellow paint is from a boiled rock
black
from ashes and white from clay
can you imagine that this is just one
out of 800 different traditions in one
country
but what's even more exciting is the
locals reaction
you look nice you look nice too you look
nice
they love sharing their culture with
people from thousands of miles away
who they have never met before on this
unofficial wedding day
as we all danced together as one the
world
felt very very small
[Music]
let me ask you a question how hard is
the english language
to you and to me it's probably not that
hard because
we can already speak it but to many
others around the world
the english language is actually pretty
difficult
so these people don't learn english
we don't learn their language and
eventually
no one can communicate with anyone
this is a real problem around the world
because there's just too
many languages in the world but over the
past week i learned about a new language
that is designed to fix this problem the
language is called
someone hundreds of years ago realized
that this language stuff
is a problem and so they decided to make
up an entirely new language
that is very similar to english but
much simpler it has no hard grammar
no long words and no crazy sentences
it's everybody's
dream language instead of copy
you say coffee library book house
university big school eat kai kai
dinner night kai kai jungle
big bush there is no i am she is you are
he is none of that stuff
there is only me you all
instead of 26 english letters there is
only 22.
these letters are out and complicated
sentences
are out please do not disturb in english
is simplified to you know come inside
to you know can come in sight
no smoking allowed is simplified to you
can't smoke
too you look nice
exactly you get the idea this language
is so
good that it might actually save a life
take papua new guinea for example they
have 800 tribes and 800 languages
it's almost impossible to communicate
with all tribes
if you don't learn 800 languages
until the pigeon language came now
tribes can talk to each other in pigeon
and fight
each other less because they can finally
understand
each other this is how a form of pidgin
finally became an official language in
the country of papua new guinea
in west african countries and in many
places around the world
i love this language because you don't
need
crazy grammar crazy long words and crazy
sentence structures
just to talk to humans all we really
need is a way to understand each other
and this language
has finally made it possible
[Music]
the following video is a true story when
i was a kid
i remember looking at the world map for
the first time
ever and i remember when i first saw it
i
was so disappointed i was disappointed
because
look the whole world has been explored
we know every single inch of new york
city
and every tiny island in the middle of
the ocean
there is nothing left to explore
but over the past week i decided to put
my disappointment aside
and visit one of the hardest most remote
places
in the world it's the kind of place you
can't go by yourself
it's the kind of place that gets no toys
with the help of the international red
cross i was able to get to the heart of
a country
that is considered as one of the most
undiscovered countries in the world
to this gate and what i
explored there i hope it makes you think
twice before
looking at the world map again because
this
is the story of papua new guinea
on your first day there you'll realize
that people don't see tourists very
often so when they see you
and you see them i kid you not it's an
instant
love story this has never happened
before
something as simple as the way they
recycle cans is unique
they collect the big bulky cans and dump
them
on the street then cars drive over the
can
and crush it
the person collects it and the tribe
recycled
none of this is illegal and all of this
makes driving a car
feel like you're helping the community
the way they wash their cars is also
unique
everywhere you go you see water coming
out of a hose
it is natural spring water that people
turn into
a car wash you drive in they clean you
with fresh
spring cold water and you drive out
without the machine
the way time nothing it's amazing and
it's really
really fun
my camera couldn't help but notice their
looks
there are more than 800 tribes and 800
different
looks some look scary like the mud men
others look friendly like this
you look nice too
when i watch them celebrate their
tradition and when they took me in
as one of them this is amazing
i honestly almost cried of happiness
this is a feeling that i didn't get
anywhere else
all of this is the bright side of
unexplored places that will
never make the news and that
unfortunately
not many people care about that's why i
make these videos because they should
care
because this this and this is actually
objectively
amazing they also should care for what's
bad
in these countries too the tribal
warfare that still
exists the burned down airplanes the
burn down
homes and the destroyed lives of the
most vulnerable
still exist today that's why
organizations like the
international red cross are exactly
there to help
to go to the middle of nowhere and
rebuild
destroyed clinics
[Music]
to supply entire schools with water
and to give building materials to those
that have been left
with nothing
i love you guys coming in my country
this is my solidarity
this is my soul i love my community i
love
my family i love my strawberries i love
my water i love my peasant fruit
i love my papua new guinea new guinea
right papua new guinea just a week
before this i had
no idea where papua new guinea is and
honestly
didn't have much interest but when i
found myself
in the middle of it all i realized the
world map
is just that a map and that the actual
world has a lot of places left to
explore
and a lot of people left to help
